Why Fitness Is a Skill You Should Practice Everyday

To me, fitness is a skill. And any skill, with the right approach, will be more quickly attained through daily practice. That is, a higher frequency.

With that said, a high frequency approach to fitness works best (and sometimes only) with general physical preparedness (GPP). The generalist, as I’ve said often enough, is someone who is better than most people, at most things. They don’t *just* train for strength, hypertrophy, power, endurance, mobility, flexibility, etc. They train for all of these.

Generalism naturally opens up more opportunities for things to practice, more ways to manipulate training variables to practice often without burning out.

At the same time, you won’t NOT get better at a skill by *only* practicing 3/x week. That’s not what I’m saying. The argument for this episode is simply this: If fitness is a skill (which I would say that it is), then a highly frequent approach–despite being unconventional–can also be highly effective.
